Ya know those days when you just feel the need to cast off the worries and just smile and laugh?

After over a week of being generally pissy and bummed over some life events and pending changes, today
I stopped just long enough to enjoy a simple thought that made me smile. It's amazing how doing something as simple as that can change your outlook, even if only for a while.



Driving home, looking at the ocean on my way, I was reminded of how beautiful it is. Some days, I take it for granted, not today...Today it made me smile just because it gave me thoughts of sun and summer fun on the beach.


What made you smile today?

Anyone else need some cheering up?

Let's make each other smile for a bit here. :) Share your thoughts with us.
 
Hi enjoying....what a lovely idea for a thread.

Today I smiled at the blue sky....so nice to see it for a change and with just a promise of spring coming, made me feel warm already.

Hi Mystical...thanks.


Something about spring that can make us all smile, I think..it's like the promise of something new I've always thought.

You are welcome....and I think that is it. I love seeing the trees begin to bud, the first shoots of grass coming up, the flowers begining to bloom.....puts a song in my heart.
 
Living in southern California, I'm fortunate that I don't have to endure harsh winters. But, still in all, I love when spring officially begins, even here there is a change in the feel to things and people just seem to be in good moods most of the time when spring hits.

Have you had a long winter in your corner of the world?
 
Today I saw my favorite wild flower along the road for the first time this season. It's a pink buttercup. Spring is officially here! (The A/C's been on for a week already)

How refreshing!

No a/c needed here, but windows and doors are open wide in the afternoons.

Hi Cat, what a good feeling that is!When you know that someone smiles just because you are you.....that's always a good way to get cheered up. :)
 
OK this should make you laugh because I did I was at the local mall when a stunning lady walked past catching my eye & my head followed her as she went past me BUT I walked into a light poll which knocked me of my feet....:eek: ppl came to my rescue thinking I was hurt but was laughing so hard at my silliness that I had trouble getting up.

The funniest part is it's not the first time I've done this :D

Just driving home yesterday and was thinking how bad things have turned where I am, however, my thoughts turned to those less fortunate. I realized how lucky I am to have a home, a vehicle, a boat, and the freedom to do/say basically whatever I wish without fear of government reprisal.

I feel lucky to have all this...and the people back east are talking snow while all my daphnia, daffodils, and hyacinths are in bloom. Hyacinths and daphnia have such sweet fragrances...instant mood change when whiffed.

Thanks EJ for making the thread...hugs--AA

Hiya AA. ... You make some good points, everyone would benefit from stopping to remember their blessings..

Daffodils....one of my favorites...a nice image to call to mind....a field of yellow daffs....:)
 
I have a passion for birding these days......what got me hooked is a wonderful memory.....I was in the woods when a fallout(migratory birds landing) occurred of Spring warblers in brilliant colors all around me, some almost within touching distance....everywhere I looked there were these small beautiful birds busily singing and foraging for food.
I can still see those bright colors in my minds eye.:)
 
The random thing that made me smile today was getting into the car and my favorite song had just started on the radio.
